Speaking to ET Online, Brit actor Michael Sheen, who plays Aro in the film expressed his excitement at being given the chance to play such a a duel character:

“I like the idea of someone who thinks of himself as a nice, sweet grandmotherly type but who’s actually a psycho killer underneath. … So, I like the idea of playing someone who is sort of soft, quite loving and thinks of himself as being very sentimental and then likes to pull people’s heads off.”

Celebrated actress Dakota Fanning, who stars alongside Sheen in the film as Jane, has made a career out of playing the nice girl. Thankfully the young actress seems to have enjoyed the change:

“It was the first time playing an evil character, but that was one of the reasons why I wanted to do it. It’s more fun playing bad girls, more fun than playing good girl.”
